What's
New 2014!

This is a grandson of the unbeaten show ewe Poorton F22 and Huish Leader.
This ram lamb has grown into a powerful shearling, with some progeny already on
the ground showing early promise. We look forward to using him extensively in
the spring.

Downkillybegs Trademark

Purchased as a completely new bloodline with decent figures. This Kildowney
Snoopy son has already been used on our December lambers, so there will be ewe
lambs available by him later in the summer.

Sherborne Tewkesbury

This ram is a Poorton Netherbury son out of one of our best ewes, N41,
consistently breeding high quality twins every September. She is sired by
Sherborne Kryptonite.

Huish Leader

After siring a lot of good progeny at Poorton, Leader has now arrived at
Sherborne, hopefully to do the same!

“We have sold privately our first batch of breeding ewe lambs which were fine
specimens of the Dorset breed. We started in 2004 with 20 ewes and we now have
320 high quality standard breeding ewes with 11 Sherborne rams. Lambing time
brings us excellent thriving lambs off good milky ewes. We look forward to
continuing our working relationship with the Sherborne Flock.”

“We have been using high index rams from the Sherborne Flock for over ten
years, initially on pedigree Polls but more recently on commercial Perendale
ewes (Cheviot x NZ Romney). Outdoor lambing, the lambs have high vigour with a
good wool cover to get them through the early days. I am pleased with growth
rates and grades from these lambs.”
